  • Trump unveiling 2028 campaign hats: ‘Soft launching a fascist dictatorship is insane’

    Jump

  • I'm not going to lie, this is a profitable move by Trump, because his voters will line up to get them to antagonize those outside their in group, as was the entire point of their vote, to harm their enemies as an end in itself, regardless of whether he's able to get the SCOTUS to rule that up means down and no third term means infinite terms for Republicans only.

    I'm just looking forward to all the idiots giggling about their own enslavement, as I see anyone wearing that hat as a derivation of this:

  • Bill Maher calls Larry David’s satire of his Trump dinner ‘kind of insulting to 6 million dead Jews’

  • It's been fascinating watching Bill Maher's brain atrophy over the last 15 or so years.

    He's living proof as to why there should be ANNUAL DRIVING TESTS required past the age of 60 to keep your driver's license.

    He's always been a narcissistic asshole, but he used to have a few decent insights. I stopped entertaining him when he started his tirade about Islam specifically being the problem. He used to know religion in general was just a vector of control by people with more material aspirations, but conveniently forgot because he wanted to start old man raging which requires cutting power to your logic and reason.

  • Dem Senator Says Party Needs to Stop Attacking ‘Oligarchy’ and Focus on Losing ‘Woke’ Reputation

    Jump

  • If you think your salvation is in the neoliberals that enabled their opposition into getting us here for 50 years, you're almost as deluded as Trump's legion of useful idiots.

    The DNC would rather lose to the Fascists than move to the left. The former keeps their shared bribe gravy train running which is the point, fighting their bribers would not.

    The DNC either needs to be stolen by a populist leftist as Trump did with the RNC, or get comfortable because if the choice is fascist or neoliberal as it has been for half a century, we will continue to find new depths to descend to until total system collapse.

    Fascism is the union of business and state to accelerate metastasis at any cost, let's say we even have another free election, and best case scenario we elect another neoliberal, I can't respect your opinion or consider it informed if you truly believe the Neoliberals will once back in power do a thing to meaningfully reign in the capitalist's governmental capture or redistribute their Ill gotten wealth.

    If the Neoliberals somehow get back into power in 4 years, they'll leave the table set for the fascists to march again in another 4. Affirmation ribbons are leaps and bounds better than scapegoats, but you can't eat affirmation ribbons, nor can you live in them. Our mass homeless population, our murder for profit confidence scheme we call American Healthcare, our education system at every level in utter ruin, these are not partisan issues because they would cost big corpo exploited profits to fix, and so both parties protect the status quo from us, the people that suffer and die under them. Fascists point and laugh at you, but neoliberals just shrug and go "market forces, amirite 🤷?"

    Oligarchy is why we have Trump. There probably isn't hope, but if you refuse understand big corpo is the enemy of the people and the cause of all this stemming from the Reagan Revolution, then not only will you burn in the fires of fascism, you'll burn ignorant as to why and how to boot.

  • Americans haven't had an honest vote on the shape or priorities of our economy in half a century.

    Just the social issue wedges that economy either causes or in some way informs in order to keep us at each other's throats and not at our shared enemy in their towers and guard gated compounds.

    Would you like your crony market capitalism with affirmation ribbons or scapegoats? Freedom!

    Example: you know what would cause a lot fewer abortions almost immediately with absolutely no bans from getting one when the woman deems it necessary? A living wage that can support a family. But that's a non starter, as it would cost our rulers capital, and lower their quarterly ego score estimates.

    The situation will continue to decline until collapse or the elevation of an actual leftwing government, and both parties conspire to prevent that from happening.

  • I'm sure Republicans would say the same and more about me, but I'd take one migrant who took a risk to work harder than almost any Americans do and give their children a better life (funny how they actually do what the American mythos claims to value, they walk the walk of our largely bullshit rhetoric), at our big corpo's invitation no less, than a hundred of my fellow American supposed conservatives born in the developed world acting like they hit a triple and reveling in the suffering of those who weren't born in what was once a cradle of safety until they demolished it with their ballot, seeking to destroy their enemies, aka most Americans, in the zero sum game Faux News drilled into their head.

    These people are unashamedly drunk on the schaudenfreude of cruelty. To me, their willful rejection of basic human empathy means they are wholly devoid of value.

  • Terrified Trump flees tariffs war after CEOs’ ‘empty shelves’ warning

    Jump

  • You are in a sense.

    Americans love to separate ourselves, but George Carlin was right, this is a representative government. I voted against him thrice, and primaried for an actual left, and phone banked for Sanders on two campaigns, but Donald Trump represents the United States as it is in practice perfectly.

    He's like the United States anthropomorphized into human form. Proudly classist, proudly racist, proudly greedy, proudly willfully ignorant, proudly drunk on schaudenfreude, proudly cruel and sociopathic, obsessed with ego score and image despite being a gross, overweight pig.

    Trump is this fucking place. The embodiment of everything I've despised about this fucking cesspool since before he was fake firing people on fake reality TV. We could not be governed more appropriately as a people given our PRACTICED values of being temporarily embarrassed millionaires dying alone undermining one another to "beat" our neighbors instead of living reasonable lives together if we tried.

    Maybe we should stop being a horrible, antisocial society that tries to compete against one another in every possible way instead of cooperating before we continue to tell other places what they're doing wrong, because this is a meth house on fire, geopolitically speaking, and has been since the 1970s. We don't have the credibility to get caught up in other nation's problems.

    Oh also, sticks and stones but ad hominems will never hurt me.

  • I mean, you can and are.

    That being said, it's equivalent to a Chinese citizen finger wagging at the US about our compromised democratic republic.

    It would ring empty from a citizen of a place that will literally run tanks over him for wanting a political voice, and would be gallows comical as a source. Context matters.

    Don't like it? Let's clean our house up. IMHO the Nordic nations, with the happiest citizens with the highest sense of wellbeing in the world, the only point of civilization existing for those still paying attention, have the right to talk Infinite shit about just about anything to just about every other nation, because they're doing being a society right and meeting the only fucking goal that matters. Their house is made of iron, not candy glass. Every nation on Earth should be taking their notes, every citizen of every other nation rioting for their models to be enacted at home.

  • I'm saying that you can't credibly go "you... You fucking shot me! What the fuck?!" at someone who shot you because you shot them a few seconds prior to that.

    It doesn't make it right. It's wrong. But it's also a non-sequitur for a serial killer to condemn another serial killer over the sanctity of life.

    As an American, Americans have no business condemning other nations about misinformation campaigns until we clean our fucking house up and provide reparations to those both within and without who were hurt by our misinformation campaigns.

  • And they do it to their citizens too...

    ...And we do it to other countries and we do it to our citizens.

    You can't condemn another country for what we've been actively doing considerably longer than them having never stopped credibly. Our house is made of that candy glass they use in movies in this particular arena.

    The oligarchs and their increasingly captured government, including both parties, have been poisoning us against anything that isn't hyper-capitalist greed enabling from the great depression to the McCarthy witch hunts into today. Very few Americans could define socialism or communism in any sense with a gun to their heads, but they've been misinformed into being filled with hate and/or dread when they're uttered.

    Name one world superpower that doesn't actively engage in mass disinformation campaigns both within and without, I'll wait. I'd also argue that like our general military, we certainly spend the most on our global Orwell machine. Our CIA, along with the KGB, are the OG playbooks other nations refer to when doing it themselves.

  • As long as both sexes see one another as vectors of acquisition (what do I get?!) and not people to connect with, it'll keep getting worse.

    I'm of the opinion that it, like most core social constructs in modernity, have been poisoned by capitalism and the glorification of avarice that comes with it, when those infected with avarice should have their society pelting rotten produce at them. A romantic partnership is supposed to be a commune of love and cooperation, not a good girl "marrying up," not a good boy acquiring a "trophy."

    As long as we keep looking at each other through the prism of material gain and ambition and greed instead of love and intimate connection, few will be happy, whether alone or in a business partnership with a spouse that's abandoned the millisecond "for worse" aka life inevitably arrives.

  • Been my default plan A long before the economy went to hell.

    I set up home medical equipment for 10 years, and by the eldery's own words, even if lucky enough to have amoral levels of resources, it's no life or victory, and certainly shouldn't be your main life goal. Taking a dozen pills every day to stave of the inevitable, dealing with unyielding physical pain, even in the best of cases being cognitively dulled as if in a permanent, ever worsening brain fog as your very sense of self erodes until even those dozen pills can no longer cheat your body's imminent failure any longer.

    I'll never understand regular people that live like monks just in case they don't get hit by a bus or some debilitating disease and make it to... Their absolute shittiest years (them being the "golden years" was always marketing to keep you working your best years in service to sociopaths). Because sadly even in the supposed "good" times from the 90s onward, most people economically have to choose to live in the present, or do the supposed responsible thing and scrimp to subsist in the future when you're no longer of use to the oligarchs.

    Should have used all that money in your 401k to take a bunch of vacations back when you could actually fully taste the food, fully feel the wind in your face, fully partake in activities your failing body would no longer survive without injury or death, and fully imbibe the experience as more than a faint, fading shadow of who you once were.

    And again, that's from the experience of basically hearing how horrible it is from elderly people from the extremely wealthy to the extremely poor.

    Capital at scale is capable of far more damage than any other individual action can be.

    A billionaire funding conservative aka cruel causes is being more effectively harmful than literally any serial killer in history, and depending on the cause, in some cases every serial killer in history put together.

    A billionaire lobbying to maintain the American Healthcare system, aka our murder for profit confidence scheme industry, has a body count that would make Jackthe Ripper blush.

    To be fair to serial killers though, their murders are artisinal and hand crafted, not mass produced.

  • I think a big part of the problem is that we've made a place that isn't worth saving long before Trump came along to loot its corpse.

    Let's go back to normal so the normal politicians can tell us the economy is great as we live in subsistence with no time or wage to live lives, where we're murdered for private profit with government's blessing, where millions of Americans die of homelessness as other Americans condemn their very existence for lowering property values. Trump is dandy with all that, but that's been the US under both parties my entire life.

    We haven't lived in a society for as long as most everyone here has been alive, just a rigged competition against one another to the death for capitalist scraps.

    Then you tell us the Fascists are here and we should... Risk our lives to... save that cesspool of avarice and casual sociopathy? Because people other than the poors are in the shit now?

    This is the consequence of the hyperindividualist and avarice stoking values of the US, values our people are still miles away from abandoning no matter how much they get hurt by it, because they want to be a big winnah one day. We made a place where it was everyone out for themselves. Those values poisoned any sense of nobility towards this cesspool.

    Here's a dark reality, not individually but as a nation, given our actions and practiced values? Donald Trump, who I voted against out of harm reduction for the record, is the PERFECT representative of the United States. It's like the US took human form. He's an accurate caricature of all we are, all we value, and all we idolize in practice.
